    Forza 4 manages to be a great simulator and an addictive game at the same time. It knows how to entertain, reward and engage the players, with an intelligent career mode, and its new online features are great. Hands down the best racing game on the Xbox 360.

    The best game Hazelight has made so far. Not only is bursting with ideas and mechanics, but also offers a surprisingly compelling narrative to enjoy with someone else.

    Street Fighter IV is the perfect heir of the Capcom saga. It is a great recreation of the original's spirit, its unbeatable gameplay and the near infinite online mode make it the best fighting game of this generation.

    Definitely, no videogame fan should let Fallout 3 escape. There are so many things you can do, places you can explore and situations to experiment, that regardless the many times we could say this is a superb title, an instant classic, there is no better way to understand the reason for such praise than to get lost in the ruinous Washington D.C. region.

    It is the most complete entry in the series, and its campaign is probably the best. It makes some slight changes in the combat mechanics, making them more dynamic, and has great new weapons. The three online modes are greatly addictive, and the revamped Horde mode and Beast modes are especially remarkable. It won't convince those who didn't enjoy the two previous games, but will please those who did.

    It's addictive, complete and entertaining. Maybe it's not the only and the one puzzle game, but it's not far from it.

    Team Cherry delivers a visually stunning and musically masterful sequel that expands Hollow Knight’s formula with richer biomes, deeper lore, and a charismatic heroine in Hornet, though its steep difficulty, resource management frustrations, and punishing enemy waves can make it exhausting for some players.

    The game delivers an intense, innovative turn-based combat experience with a rich atmosphere and gorgeous visuals, although the repetitive level design and a story that loses focus halfway through diminish its overall impact.

    Beautiful, fun, addictive and with a lot of care put into it, Link comes back with another great game for 3DS, closing an almost perfect year for the handheld. It goes back to its classic gameplay, but manages to add some new ideas. Sure, it could have been harder and longer, but we've enjoyed every second we've played.

    From Software has not made the mistakes they made with the first episode on PC, but the improvements are limited to AI, resolution and framerate. Still, a great game worth playing.

    Donkey Kong Bananza marks a triumphant return for the iconic ape in a 3D platformer that rivals Mario’s adventures. While the game boasts a rich world and engaging mechanics, some players will find a lack of challenge, but it is, overall, a fantastic experience within Nintendo Switch 2’s catalog.

    Frenetic, wild, interesting, deep, full of content... the list goes on and on. It's one the best first-person sandbox ever made, and we only hope there's a bright future waiting for this IP.

    A roguelike RPG that stands out for its deep emergent narrative, complex character creation, and endless possibilities in exploration and decision-making, but its steep learning curve, dated visuals, and English-only text limit its accessibility.

    Dark Souls is back, with an epic adventure that delivers what fans expect from it. Maybe it's not as shocking as the previous one, but it's more solid, and still is a great game that proves the current generation of consoles is very alive.

    Shovel Knight is one of the best indie games in the last few years, and this is the best edition so far. It also works great with the Switch concept, so if you have the new Nintendo console and you haven't played Shovel Knight yet, you shouldn't miss it.

    Balatro ingeniously transforms the familiar concept of poker into a fresh and captivating experience, offering a plethora of strategies to explore through its innovative mechanics. Despite its minor flaws, such as occasional unfair boss encounters, the game's depth, accessibility, and addictiveness make it a standout title in the roguelike card game genre.

    2K Sports raised the bar very high last year, and we though it would be very difficult for another entry to surpass it. Fortunately we were mistaken, and it improves almost everything from the previous game, with new and revamped game modes, basketball legends and more fun matches. A must-have.

    Although it may look too short in content if judged only as an expansion, Blizzard has done an overwhelming job renewing the World of Warcraft universe.
